Charlie Curnow shocker......is that the 'just turned 20' Charlie Curnow' who notched up Game 7 tonight???

'Give the kids game time!'  'Play the kids!'  'Let the kids develop and play them in front of the oldies!'

We are a harsh lot! 

It should be 'Charlie, you're guaranteed 6 games, so go out and give it your best shot. You won't be BOG every week but have a crack!'

 I guess I've got such high expectations for the lad!  8)

well I'm disappointed with our defensive pressure around the ground, game was lost there...

the positves

Murphy - best game in along time from him, defensive skills were poor though
Marchbank - ripper pickup, strong, reads the play well, decision making will improve, his first big game with 70k watching
Silvangi - has put on some muscle and is smart
Kreuzer - like Murphy's best game in ages, took marks up fwd, and won more clearances that cripps
SPS - couldn't ask for more from a 1st gamer
plowman - steady as a rock
weits - 3 goals and totally beat up, what a champ he's going to be

the negatives
C Carlow - a shocker, slow, out of position and applied little fwd pressure
armfield - hopeless, a liability
pickett - no impact
Crisps - very slow and kicking was woeful
doc - worst game I've seen him play, was exposed by Richmond's small fwds

in all to let Richmond score such a big score with the fwd line is a massive indictment on the club. let's hope we where clearing the cobwebs out.

Meddy, I'm in the same boat.  Got a four year old who loves flying the flag and knows who the players are.  Stayed up with me to watch the first quarter tonight.  Thank God that's all he saw.  I'm taking him to his first game next week and if I hadn't already bought the tickets I'd seriously reconsider.  I was brought in the early 80s when we were a team that a six or seven year old could be proud of.  Not anymore.

I'm gutted.

I also have a four year old, And he already loves Essendon because of his Nana.  No wonder with our heartless efforts...it's so disheartening

Wow don't know what to say..... I hope this is ground zero.  Our great club is totally a basket case at the moment.  No leadership, no grit and no endeavour.  I hope our club can survive this period as our memberships will be totally down the next few years....

I just can't believe on the big stage on  a Friday night Against our arch enemy and we serve up this  :( :(
